A Sci-Fi Roleplay

Whisper nearly broke out into laugher. 'Oh, wow. You have much to learn about how beauty defines us, my apprentice,' she said jokingly.

She leapt off her bed, and landed on the floor with little sound... she was indeed pretty light on her feet. 'Alright, here's what I'm going to do, and no disagreement,' she continued, wagging her finger at Zoe. 'I'm going to find you a hairbrush, and some of that fancy make-up stuff all the cool girls are using... and I'm going to make you realise that beauty is in the eye of the beholder... or something like that.'

She made her way to the door of the room. 'I'll be right back, and then you'll be ready to kick some alien butt... in style!' And with that, she was out the room in a flash.

Isodor, meanwhile, was more than a little nervous. 'Okay, if they start shooting, I'll do my best to dodge. We can use the space junk to our advantage, that stuff can throw off most targeting systems... not to mention it can take out a stray missile or two.'

Of course, the problem was that the junk didn't travel all the way to the warship ahead of them, Isodor just had to use what skill he had.

Zoe sat back down onto the bed as she just stroked her hair as she waited for Whisper to return.

Meanwhile, Zarcon was watching the ship approach as he gave off a smirk "Let's see how good they are at dodging laser fire" and after that, the ship opened fire on the smaller ship.

T-5.0 saw what was approaching, glancing over at isodor before telling him to get out "Move" was all she said as she took his place and begun to dodge the laser fire.

Firefly watched on, seeming to be rather impressed with her as she looked to Isodoer "Jealous of her?" she chuckled lightly.

'No, not really,' Isodor replied. 'Although the part where she threw me off my seat may have been a little excessive,' he continued, rubbing his back leg.

Whisper returned shortly with what seemed to be an entire supply of equipment for looking after ones self. 'Girls...' Whisper said with a sigh. She looked around as the room began to tumble and roll a bit. 'Well, that's not a good sign. Still, might as well make you look nice for whatever happens next.'

She sat Zoe down upon the floor, and seated herself behind Zoe. Whisper then began to work her way through the strands of hair. 'Hm, could use a bit of work, to be honest... but I don't blame ya for not caring about your hair, it's just some silly stuff on ones head... after all.'

Then she stuck a brush through, and began combing her way through. She hadn't done much styling in her lifetime, the army always came first for her. Still, always better to look good while killing... plus it made all the men jealous when the pretty girl came along and one upped them. She might as well see if she could pass that on to Zoe.

'Okay, any idea on how you might like it?'

T-5.0 continued to maneuver through the laser fire as she got closer to the ship, that is, until they were caught in a tractor beam.

Firefly kept on watching still, a hand upon on Isodor's shoulder "You'll be alright" although, she stopped once the tractor beam got hold of the ship "That's not good at all, almost as if Zarcon had planned it.

Zoe nodded a little to Whisper as her hair was being brushed "I guess I just never did get around to brushing it or anything like that, never got the chance, but at the moment, I do like it how it is, long and all....well, do you think it looks nice like that anyway? Cause I don't know how others will like it"

JitteryDragon · **Reply #184 on:** January 30, 2010, 04:16:46 AM

'Oh come on!' Isodor yelled. 'That's just cheating right there.' He shook a fist in the general direction of the warship.

Raiven burst into the cockpit. 'Bloody hell, what's with all this shaking?' He shouted.

'Tractor beam,' Isodor said with a groan.

'Oh,' Raiven replied. 'Typical.' He crossed his arms and leant against the door. 'So, now what do we do?'

Whisper continued to work on Zoe's hair. 'Now, here's the cool thing about being female. It doesn't matter how long it grows, it can still be messed around with.'

And that is exactly what Whisper intended to do. She worked Zoe's hair over, cutting with some scissors in a few odd places to even things out. For the most part, she intended to apply a headband, and give Zoe a pony tail.'

After a while, she reached into the bag, and pulled out a pair of mirrors. 'Tell me what you think,' she said.

MrDrake · **Reply #185 on:** January 30, 2010, 04:25:25 AM

Firefly thought for a second "Best to be prepared, who knows how well prepared the Kre'Iax will be" she told them.

Zoe looked at herself in the mirror as her smile widdened as she looked to Whipser "You made me look really, really, really pretty, I love it" she told her and gave her a hug, one that lasted for a few moments longer.

The ship was bought into the giant warship as it landed. Outside, Kre'Iax were all lined up all around the ship, guns aimed at it as well as Zarcon approached "Get it open....now" he ordered some Kre'Iax whom in turn, started to cut open the door to the ship.

"Well it looks like I'll have to go a round of fighting in the ship before I can fly,' frank said.

Frank ran to his plane in the hanger. "Well here we go,' he thought as he hooked up some wires to his head. "Gereral we need you,' frank said. An electronic voice replied "What is it that you require.' "We need to to control some drone to attack Zarcons drones so they don't attack earth,' frank said. "Very well it shall be done,' the voice said.

JitteryDragon · **Reply #188 on:** February 01, 2010, 06:54:44 PM

Raiven was watching as the door was slowly being cut open, a small wisp of flame making its way around the metal frame. 'Well, we have about a minute or so to come up with a plan,' he said as he turned to the others, looking a little nervous behind his glasses.

'Uh, where's Frank?' He asked. He had just been there a moment ago, and now he had run off.

Whisper stood up, seemingly glancing around the room. 'We've... lander,' she said quietly. 'Hm, we best catch up with the others. Something bad is about to go down, I can feel it in my bones,' she said to Zoe. She picked up her hellrifle, and hoisted it on her shoulder. 'Shame I can't work on you some more, Zoe, but duty calls, huh?'

Isodor sat in the pilots seat, head buried in the controls. 'We... are so screwed.'

The door to the ship was cut off as Kre'Iax boarded the ship, aiming guns at all in the area as Zarcon stepped on, glancing at who was on board "Disable those tin cans" he spoke in regards to Alpha, Delta and Omega as he turned to the others "You all shall follow me"

"And....what if we refuse?" Zoe asked him.

Zarcon sighed and grabbed a gun from one of his Kre'Iax and shot Zoe in the leg "That's what will happen"

"Zoe!" Firefly called out as she looked to Zarcon with a glare.

"Now, if you wish to remain alive for the time being, I suggest all of you make no sudden movements that will provoke my soldiers to shoot you" Zarcon told them.

Zoe winced in pain as she fell down, grabbing her leg, which was now, bleeding.

JitteryDragon · **Reply #190 on:** February 01, 2010, 07:24:14 PM

'Well, there goes any plans we might have had,' Raiven said as he raised his arms above his head. After what just happened, the last thing he wanted was anyone else getting hurt. He'd seen enough of this sort of thing in his life as a cop, but Zarcon meant business.

Whisper had to steel herself to hide her anger. Her fists were clenched and her lips tight. She glanced over to her father, who shook his head just a little at her. it was enough to relax Whisper, reminding her that she wasn't in control of the situation and there was nothing she could do... as much as it pained her to think so.

Isodor had a different plan. It involved hiding, in a garbage bin just big enough to barely house the squib. He hoped and prayed they wouldn't find him... hoping they were too busy handling the others to check for anyone else.

MrDrake · **Reply #191 on:** February 01, 2010, 07:32:25 PM

Zarcon got everyone to start moving as he looked to one of his soldiers "Double check the ship, make sure it's empty" he told him as he grabbed Zoe by the hair to pull her to her feet and pulled her along rather roughly as the group was taken to the cells for the time being.

Once there, Firefly was stripped of her suit and weapons while everyone else was stripped of their weapons and led into the cells. Valria, T-5.0 Raiven in one lot, with Whisper in another, to which Zarcon just threw Zoe in with Whisper before activating the enrgy barriers.

Alpha, Delta and Omega were kept elsewhere on the ship however under heavy guard.

Zoe fell to the ground and yelled out in pain, tears already rolling down her cheeks from the pain within her leg as she just held it, looking over to Whisper, sniffling quite a bit.

JitteryDragon · **Reply #192 on:** February 01, 2010, 07:44:51 PM

Whisper coiled up to her, not exactly hugging Zoe... she didn't want to cause any more pain. Indeed, a tear rolled down her own cheek, more in anger than in sadness. This Zarcon was a monster to her, plain and simple.

'Don't move, Zoe,' Whisper said as she took her shirt off. Underneath her shirt was a black bra, and nothing else. She tore into the clothing with her tear, ripping off a large piece of cloth. She then made her way to the toilet that lay in the corner, and dunked it right in.

Whisper placed the wet cloth upon Zoe's wound. 'I know this ain't the most professional way of doing it, but it should at least ease the pain a bit. Thank god they at least try to keep the toilets clean around here.' She had plenty more cloth to use as a bandage, to at least staunch the blood.

Raiven swore, he cursed more than he had ever in his life. He certainly was used to seeing others put in jail... not himself. 'This is just great... we go to stop an invasion and end up imprisoned like rats.' He turned to Firefly, anger on his wrinkled face. 'What the hell do we do now?'

He looked around the cell. 'And where the hell is Iso?'

Isodor, meanwhile, was shivering inside his hiding place. He peeped out the lid, just a little, and saw the Kre'Iax not but a few feet a way from him. It made him let out a whimper, and he covered his mouth in response... perhaps a little too late.

MrDrake · **Reply #193 on:** February 01, 2010, 07:54:11 PM

Zoe just nodded back to Whisper, still feeling rather upset as she let off a slight gasp as the cloth touched her wound "Um, I just want to say, thanks for helping me out....I wish there was something I could do to repay you...." she told Whisper with a bit of a sigh.

Valria looked to Raiven and T-5.0, shaking her head "You know, I'm not sure what there is to do, I just don't know what we can do"

"Isodor? The small alien of yours? He is not here, I would imagine he is hiding" T-5.0 spoke up.

Meanwhile, the Kre'Iax looked in the direction to where the noise had come from and approached it. However, luckily for Isodor, before the Kre'Iax could look in, he heard a noise elsewhere and instead, decided to go and investigate the noise.

Soon enough, the Kre'Iax was finished on board the ship, having not found Isodor and decided to go and tell Zarcon.

Noname · **Reply #194 on:** February 01, 2010, 07:57:03 PM

Just then, a mysterious voice began to speak to 'Iso.'

"Isodor? Is that you? What are you doing in there?" It was Heron, but the "voice" wasn't playing over the ship's PA system, it was being transmitted directly to Isodor's brain.

"The Guardians have gone missing for the time being. I don't know where Alpha, Delta, and Omega are. I know that you are only a biological unit, but I need you to explain the situation in as concise a set of terms as you can. Don't speak. You need but to think whatever it is you wish to say and I shall be able to understand it."

JitteryDragon · **Reply #195 on:** February 01, 2010, 08:04:38 PM

Isodor was more than a little unnerved with the idea of having something inside his head. He popped his head out of the garbage, and looked around, his antenna twitching in all directions.

He started to think. 'They're all imprisoned by now,' Isodor said in his mind, which felt a little odd. 'Everyone aboard the ship has been taken, except for me, go figure. They would have a prison of some sort aboard this ship, no doubt. We just need to figure some way to get them out. Is there anything you can do, Heron?'

The little squib certainly wasn't a match for the Kre'Iax, and certainly wasn't a hero in the typical terminology... he would much rather had just stayed in the garbage if it weren't for the computer speaking to him... in his head.

Whisper gave a slight hint of a chuckle as she continued to aid Zoe . 'There is no need to repay me for this, I was trained to handle this sort of thing. Just hold still for me while I patch you up as best as I can, then we can try and sort things out from there.'

Noname · **Reply #196 on:** February 01, 2010, 08:10:04 PM

"I sure can!" Heron replied cheerfully. Perhaps a bit too cheerfully. "The ships's defenses are still online. Since they were never configured when you all entered the ship, they were never activated, though. It requires the authorization of a biological unit or a specially designated A.I. to turn on the defensive equipment of the Athos."

Then, the unheard voice turned grim.

"So, just give me the authorization, and tell me who needs to die."

Heron had a mean streak. No wonder it took special authorization to activate his "toys."

JitteryDragon · **Reply #197 on:** February 01, 2010, 08:17:32 PM

Isodor was hesitant, but soon enough he hopped out of the bin and brushed himself off. He still smelt like garbage, but there was anger upon his face. He had a chance to help his friends, and now he was going to take it.

'You have my authorization,' Isodor thought. 'As pilot of the Athos, I hereby give you full command of all weapons systems. Kill every Kre'Iax you see.'

Isodor went straight for the ship controls. He could see that the ship was still locked down, and the tractor beam would need to be taken out if the ship was to be released. 'I need to find the tractor beam, such a device can only be disabled aboard the warship itself. Is there anyway you can help me locate it, Heron?'

MrDrake · **Reply #198 on:** February 01, 2010, 08:22:16 PM

"But, you've just so much for me now....and it feels like I just can't do anything to help out" Zoe replied back as Whisper continued to tend to her wounds still.

T-5.0 walked over to the cell barrier an placed a hand on it as it burned up part of her synthenetic skin, revealing part of her cyborg hand instead "It seems as though, for the time being, we are stuck in here"

Valria nodded back "Looks like we need a miracle to get our of this little mess that we're now in"

Noname · **Reply #199 on:** February 01, 2010, 08:28:21 PM

"I can help you find it if I can gain access to plans of that ship. In the meantime, defenses activated!" Heron replied, jovial.

With that, red lighting turned on all over the ship, and out of the walls, turrets emerged, scanning for any enemies.

Whhhrrrr-wheeeee!

But the main defenses for the ship, as with any warship, were external. The cannons of the Athos began to power up, under Heron's command.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW- WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Two massive orange beams shot from the Athos into Zarcon's warship, bypassing the shields entirely, tearing into the hull... from the inside!!
